Hello my name is Beth I quit work three and a half years ago to take care of my parent's full time how ever it has been difficult my health isn't the greatest but I managed it isnt I cant deal with, the things with my parents well the older the get the worst they get I don't mind cause they raised me but now financially,there is noway I can afford a caregiver to be honest personally I would'nt want to,and my parents can not afford one as well they help get me personnal items,So my question is can I apply for cash help some where for being there full time caregiver,I don't know where to go I did'nt know who to ask and felt guilety to even ask but it has been ruff . I am the sole person that also runs my kids back and forth to work take cares at times my grandchildren appts,etc; it is alittle much financially,I dont know what to do I applied for ssi cause my health isnt great mentally or physically I;m stressed out and I have to hold on for my parents and grandchildren. My children are going through a really tough time so this is affecting my parents and its all a mess, everytime I look for help I get one door in front the other slamed in my face, I got deneied for ssi which when they had the court date I was just back home from a 2nd total knee replacement, I had'nt been home but a few days after my release from my hospital stay. And this is only a little of what I do dayley this is a job 7 days 24 hours.
So if any one can streer me in the right direction it would be apperciated and I would be so ever grateful.
Thank You, Elizabeth
